That's a good start. I'd be pretty psyched on a pass like that focusing on smaller ski hills.

I'd like to see a map of these resort locations

Isn’t Silver up-more north in Kellogg....almost neighbors to 49N

Yeah, Silver is straight east of Spokane, in Kellogg, ID.

If the snow w is right, spending two days at each of those could be an awesome week-long adventure

I think that list means Beaver Mountain in Utah, not Beaver Creek.

The in area skiing is ok, the side country and skate/shuttle back is pretty damn good.

Such a good start. I was trying to do the math last night of how many mom-and-pop lift tickets a IKON pass could buy. Give me a pass with a few days each at Lookout, Pebble Creek, Discovery, Maverick, Kelly Canyon, etc and I'm all the way sold. Most of my favorite inbounds days have come at places who charge less than $60 a lift ticket on a weekend.

this, with powder alliance pass, would be a great option

more places I've never heard of, and will never visit added. (and a few I will)

and they release the financial split with resorts too.
"Eighty-five percent of pass revenue will be split among partner resorts based on total redemptions, with 9 percent allocated to marketing the pass and developing a national brand, and the remainder to cover admin and other costs."

Only ever heard of a couple of those but I love the concept

Good info. Missed this earlier.

For $200 well worth picking up. Lots of nice but smaller ski areas. A bunch I've been to.

Too bad the Sierra is completely unrepresented; 2 days each at, say, Homewood and Diamond Peak, and it would be tempting.

Their PNW representation is pretty much all the mom and pop places. Lots of good skiing to be had. Hoodoo was my home mountain as a kid growing up. I need to get back there again.

My thoughts exactly. Maybe SAT and DR as well.

I really like that it is some new places that I have not skied at before. For me that is the whole point.

^^^that makes sense. But I don’t get to travel much or too far, so having some resorts local to me is important. There are still plenty of smaller mom and pop resorts in the Sierra.

lookout pass

Did they put anthony lakes and bluewood on? Honestly neither of which are worth it in my opinion, but if they could get baker on there it would be sweet... In our dreams though.

I've had some stellar days at Donner Ski Ranch (Tahoe), Tahoe/Donner (Tahoe, but I'm a homeowner, so tix are only $35...:)), Beartooth Basin (Wyoming), and Powderhorn (Colorado), all of which I think I paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $25 for a lift ticket (definitely not over $50).

I like the list of places on this pass as I've never heard of any of them!

:)

Damn, just the 2 days each at Silver and Losttrail and the pass has paid for itself.
Lookout would be a great add. Small, but lots of snow and BC. Silver and Lookout are maybe half an hour apart (tops). Silver doesn't have a mountain road, you take a a gondi from town. It's cool.

just added

Alberta
Castle Mountain Resort

^
So I gather that Castle Mountain Resort is on both the Indy Pass and Power Alliance.

yup, assuming PA is staying the same for this upcoming season?

^
I looked at the Powder Alliance page which I believe they updated. Castle Mountain Resort is still there. However, I didn't see Stevens Pass, WA (which was to be expected) Arizona Snowbowl (they rejoined late last year) or SilverStar BC (which I'm saddened to see leave since I had a fun time skiing there.) They did recently add Mission Ridge, WA though.

avail now

nice cheap pass for a road trip.
https://www.indyskipass.com/

Would also add Bridger bowl/Bozeman. And Discovery Basin/P-burg

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Cast...d49.390666!3e0

Damn.... them west coast places are nice. kinda spread out though. The east places close to me already offer pretty steep discounts.



maybe.

Wish they had some more places in the eastern Rockies. I have 4 days at two of the midwestern resorts for sure because of race team. If I could get a couple more it would be worth it but...not sure I see it.

I’m in. Lookout would be a great add and considering their day tickets are often available for $30 even on weekends I don’t see them losing money on the dealer

yeah, your map is making me think a trip to the north west might work... what airport would you choose? Seattle?

NO, then they would get busy too. ;)

3000mi. 8 ski areas. All covered on the Loveland pass.

If I don't have the money to go to Europe this year -- could be a helluva a two week adventure.

yup, I did a lot of that last season. I would strongly suggest buying a day at Discovery basin (disco) and lost trail.
